Useful tips are provided for the use of specific equipment and facilities. Health and safety issues are also addressed. In addition, the course conveys fundamental information about the primary materials used in different types of coatings, their chemical and physical properties, as well as factors influencing deterioration and surface phenomena. With the help of detailed explanation of the basic information, it is also possible to learners with little previous knowledge to get into the subject.
